1940s Colorado- Teenage Victoria Nash is the sole surviving woman in a family of troubled men. She spends her days running the household on her family's peach farm.

Wilson Moon is a young drifter with a mysterious past. Displaced from his tribal land, he wants to believe one place is just like another.

When Victoria and Wil meet on a street corner, their unexpected connection ignites both passion and danger, revelations and secrets.

After tragedy strikes, Victoria is propelled away from the only home she has ever known and towards a reckoning with loss, hope, and her own untapped strength. Gathering all the pieces of her small and extraordinary existence, she will arrive at a single rocky decision that will change her life for ever.

Reviews for Go as a River

Shelley Read's lyrical voice is a force of nature. Tragic, uplifting and completely unforgettable * BONNIE GARMUS, author of LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY * A lush, beautiful, strong book. It took me on a transformative life journey. I could not put it down * CLOVER STROUD * Completely spell-binding, vivid and luminous * JANE GREEN * Suffused with wisdom and compassion, this shattering testimony to one woman's life must be savoured, treasured and shared * MEG WAITE CLAYTON, author of THE POSTMISTRESS OF PARIS * A young woman broken by circumstances who must find a way to forgive before she can love. Torie Nash is a character for the ages as she navigates loss and despair on the road to redemption. Stunning. * ADRIANA TRIGLIANI *
